Symphonic Stereo - 19 [pls006] - Symphonic StereoThe waking drum machine. Here is a very dreamy EP we received from synthpop duo Shaun & Andrea , better known as Symphonic Stereo , who debuted on the well-received Starving But Happier comp earlier this year. For this release we have five songs of tranquilizing, reverberated vocals grounded by modest bass-snare-hihat drum patterns - lending to similarities with Figurine or perhaps The Russian Futurists under general anesthesia...Keywords:Synthpop; IndieDownloads: 10,836 (2 reviews)

Djinnestan - Purr [wh020] - C.P. McDillPurr is a 76 minute ambient track intended to be played at low volume as background ambience, preferably as you go to sleep.
